The EDRI and XS4ALL petition against data retention has attracted over 48.000 signatures, of which over 19.000 from the Netherlands (where the campaign was launched) and over 5.500 from Germany and Finland. Runners-up in the daily country count are Bulgaria and Sweden (over 2.000 each), followed by Austria (over 1.500). Italy, Spain, Belgium, France, Slovenia, the US and the UK have each contributed over a 1.000 signatures.

Currently, 75 organisations and companies have signed in support of the petition. The petition is now available in 20 languages, including Basq, Catalan and Greek.

The campaign continues to invite signatures and support throughout September and possibly October 2005, as long as the political battle between the European Commission and the Council of ministers of Justice and Home Affairs continues.
